Re: [VuFind-General] Search prefixes/fields in basic search

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

Your guess is correct -- if you specify search fields, VuFind just passes your query straight through to Solr and it gets processed as a Lucene query.  Actually, it's not quite straight through -- VuFind does a little bit of syntax checking, and if it detects errors, it may try to manipulate your query to avoid fatal errors...  but if you get all the details right, it's pretty close to a raw Solr search.

Subject: [VuFind-General] Search prefixes/fields in basic search

I have a question about using the search prefixes or fielded searches within VuFind's basic search.

We can do searches like the following to find "Broke, USA" by Gary Rivlin:

        isbn:9780061733215
        title:broke author:rivlin
        title:(broke pawnshops poverty)
        title:"from pawnshops to Poverty, Inc"

I think these combine the way I would expect them to with boolean operators, not certain about nesting. Where can I find the syntax rules for these sorts of searches? Oh, wait, are these all searches that are just passed directly to the Lucene parser?

Also, I think the available prefixes/shorcuts are exactly the indexed fields in Solr. Is that right?
